Many people lurk & don't post. Some don't visit regularly.
You guys are lucky that I don't fall into either of those groups!

I can only do an estimate.
Registration counter is now at 198256 and the current member figure is 196608.
The difference is the number of phishers and spammers that have been detected before posting and deleted, in the past month.
Thats for how long I have actively monitored the registrations.
The differens gives approx 60 registrations/24 hours are spammers, add to that the 20 who starts to post immediatly after registration and are banned.
80 x 400 days = 32 000 registrations that is for spamming/phishing.
The 400 days is based on the knowledge from how heavily we have been attacked at different times.
About 400 days ago, thats when it started to really escalate.
Approx 5% has registered but never activated the account.
Thats another 8 000.
Leaves us with approx 150 000 registered members.
No wonder why we are so popular to be attacked by spammers and phishers.
With that kind of exposure they are very much temted to post their crap here.

I bow to the Admins and their calculating ways - most impressive indeed.
Personally, I would agree that their numbers are correct, but I prefer to consider those that contibute to be "members".
I'd put that figure at around 2,000 and that's just my opinion.
And, having that many that decide to share their hard work with us on a regular basis is quite an accomplishment and a credit to the leaders of our board.
The forum is massive and we've plenty of active folks here keeping it way too difficult to keep up; so whatever the figure, FP is very, VERY healthy

Just out of curiosity. Does anyone know how much uploaders we have here? 1% ?? (=1500
) Looks to me as far less, maybe 600 active uploaders.
